Around-the-Bases

Welcome! Around-the-Bases is a crochet stitch sampler that turns YOUR favorite center block into an afghan. It can be made with any square or rectangle motif, using any yarn weight. It was originally published as a crochet along (CAL) in 2015. The CAL is now over but here are all the information you need to get started and going on this fun project!

PDF print button as well as links to the video tutorial, UK term pattern, and Dutch translation can be found at the bottom of each inning.

All video tutorials were created by Esther of It’s All in a Nutshell and can be found here.

Please note due to the nature of the pattern, some of the “innings” required 2 slightly different instructions. The different sets of instructions were referred to as “teams”. Which “team” one needed to follow depends on that inning’s starting stitch count.

Due to popular demand, a photo tutorial for adding border is now available at my Ravelry shop.
